Reverse mortgages (also called home equity conversion loans) enable elderly homeowners to tap into their equity without selling their home. Reverse mortgages are ideal for homeowners who are retired or no longer working and need to supplement their income. Interest rates can be fixed or adjustable. The money is nontaxable and does not interfere with Social Security or Medicare benefits. Most reverse mortgages require you be at least 62 years of age, have a low or zero balance owed against your home and maintain the property as your principal residence.
